Thoughts?

Tough finish but some early season opportunities to build momentum.

From Jan 15 and on…

Perfect schedule to get the young guys up to speed AND to find the right rotations for the upperclassmen.

100% agree. You couldn’t ask for a better opening slate for a team with a lot of players in new roles.

Agree, It's nice the beginning of B1G is a little easier. When you factor in the non-conference you have a stretch of:

Alabama (Top 3)
@ Marquette (Top 25)
Marshall
NC State
Ole Miss (Top 25)/BYU
@PSU
Maryland
Texas A&M (Top 25)
Auburn (Top 10)
Toledo
and then BIG play starts @ Minnesota

You would like to think playing those tougher non-con teams would have the guys ready and looking at 5-1 or 6-0 to start B1G (@ Rutgers, ugh) heading into that west coast trip @ Washington.

Did anyone else notice that the season ending game at Illinois is on a Friday?

Interesting. So a good amount of rest until the BTT the next week.

Found it odd that Purdue and IU get a lot of days off for both games against one another.

We also don't travel to Ohio St, Nebraska and Northwestern, our only 3 road losses last year!
Michigan St misses road games at Indiana, Purdue, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
IU got lucky, they only face Nebraska, Iowa and Northwestern once on the road, all three teams won at Assy Hall last year!

 

[Thordog]

at least they get UCLA and OSU at Mackey.

Don’t get to travel to Rutgers….maybe this will also be the year they finally win AT Wisconsin.

I'll travel to see the psu game on Dec. 5th, glad it's on the 5th because I got tickets to see BEAT ( Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin) doing King Crimson music on the 4th
